:

What's it like to be homeless? This powerful documentary records the stories of the dispossessed, the people living on the streets, sleeping on friends sofas, or housed in temporary accommodation, in Scotland today. The 2012 Commitment, the Scottish Government's pledge to eradicate homelessness, came in to force on December 31st 2012. Will it make any difference to the 45,000 individuals currently without a home? Filmed in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow over the winter months, this documentary puts a human face to the grim statistics.
